07/05/2024 - Cape Cod Select Training & Competition (MS) Philip is a 2028 LHP/OF out of Emerson, NJ who continues to shine with his baseball abilities on the diamond. In the OF, defensive abilities have improved as he displays smooth fluid actions. He takes proper routes/angles in tracking down balls. He works to get behind balls and plays through with momentum to his target. Range will increase as he improves foot quickness. Throws are accurate with carry on his throws. At the plate, he shows a wide setup. Hands are loose and work through a level swing path. He makes consistent contact through a line drive approach and shows feel for the barrel with power showing best to the pull side. Power will increase as he utilizes his lower half more efficiently. On the mound, fastball showed a range of 66-68 mph with tailing action. Breaking ball displays 2/8 shape with gradual break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup with slight sinking action. Slider is harder with tight spin and short break. Stock on the mound will continue to rise as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. Mental makeup is a plus as he is very coachable and works hard to be the best player he can be.
